3/10/10

Today is officially the last day of the 2009-2010 Utah waterfowl season. I made it out one last time after the snows. We have been following them for the last three days and they are the weirdest birds in the whole world. Turns out the field they had been feeding in is now their roost. When we had our chance this morning none of us had guns in our hands but Mitch got to his quick enough to get shots off. He hit two with his first shot and missed the other two. We had two others come in barely close enough to shoot at. One of them got hit pretty good and started to fall like he was going to crash but then caught himself and ended up flying away. It was still a really fun day, and a really great season. I can't wait for September to get here; only 175 days until dove hunting starts.

Snow Geese!

Me and Mitch went after the snows again this morning. It turned out a little better this time. Mitch found the birds yesterday but the owner of the field didn't want us in there because it was so muddy. We still managed a couple without having to go into the field. Didn't turn out quite the way we had hoped but still pretty cool to get my first snow goose.

3/2/10

Decided to set up for snow geese today. Saw 200-300 real early but they weren't looking to land anywhere close to us. We at least go to see a few canadas though. Only had one land in the decoys. It was pretty cool though.





The band is fake. Just wanted to play around in photoshop. The real picture is the last one.
